Management Thoughts for Entrepreneurs

Yesterday on Memorial Day, we gave tribute to all veterans who sacrificed themselves for giving freedom and liberty to our country and other nations in the world. What could Entrepreneurs do to honor current veterans?

When you hire employees, should you consider veterans? Serving in the armed forces instills discipline, adherence to established processes, teamwork, courage, overcoming adversity and other fine attributes that Entrepreneurs should be seeking from qualified prospects.

Veterans bring with them an intrinsic understanding of how loyalty adds to team proficiency and builds trust in a work environment. For Entrepreneurs looking to make a long-term investment in an employee, veterans often outperform other candidates as proven team players.

Through service, training, and lifestyle, veterans typically have the work ethic that any Entrepreneur would be thrilled to replicate in all of the organization’s employees.

Entrepreneurs should, all things being equal, give preference to veterans who have served our country.
